Apart from that, I guess its mostly finishes and fixtures, who prefers what etc. IME, QR and CX IFE on A350s beat AY as well. As in hardware.
Whilst they both have 8 rows in the middle, if I recall correctly CX use less space in the front for galleys so have greater cabin length, ie the seats are not packed as tightly as AY. That said, the CX 350 seat is a worse rendition than its 777 counterpart.
QR doesn’t actually use the same seat, they use the Super Diamond seat vs the Cirrus seat of AY/CX.
